This article will look at why canary diamonds are yellow, what makes this variety of champagne diamonds so expensive, how they are graded and some general ideas on how to best feature canary diamond rings in your jewelry collection.
When you shop online for canary diamonds you want to make sure that you understand the quality that you’re buying. Diamonds are rated on a color scale that ranges from most brilliant white down to dull or brown. As mentioned in my article on chocolate diamond rings, Canary diamonds do not follow the same grading scale as other white diamonds. Instead, they have been given their own classification ratings. There are four ratings for a canary diamond: light yellow, fancy yellow, intense yellow, and vivid yellow. Vivid yellow diamonds are on the high end of the value scale, and are the most sought after of the canary diamonds, and the most expensive.
You can find a beautiful canary diamond ring in a wide range of prices, just be sure you understand where the diamond is in the spectrum of quality before making your final decision.
